The Programme
Antigua and Barbuda, in plain terms.
Among the youngest of the Caribbean programmes, Antigua and Barbuda has built a reputation for fast turnaround and generous family inclusion — covering parents, siblings, and dependants in a single application. The programme requires limited days of presence in-country, making it well suited to internationally mobile principals who want a straightforward second citizenship without disrupting their existing life.

Frequently asked
About the Antigua and Barbuda programme.
01 How "well-connected" is Antigua and Barbuda?
Popular as the "heart of the Caribbean," Antigua and Barbuda is one of the most well-connected islands in the region. The recently opened VC Bird International Airport is one of the latest international terminals in the Caribbean Islands and serves as a hub for a number of major airlines.
02 Does Antigua and Barbuda have a tax residency programme?
No, Antigua does not provide a tax residency programme.
03 What is the validity of my citizenship, and how can it be renewed?
The validity period for Antigua and Barbuda citizenship documentation obtained through investment is five years. At the conclusion of the initial term, applicants can renew their Antigua citizenship documentation for an additional ten years at no additional cost. The only requirement for renewing an Antigua citizenship documentation is that the applicant must have remained in the country for at least 5 days and completed the Oath of Allegiance upon arrival.
04 How is the biometric due diligence and vetting process of the applicants conducted?
Although there are no interviews, each applicant undergoes a rigorous screening process. The application, along with other details, is passed on to an unbiased third-party due diligence service provider who'll conduct the background check on behalf of the CIU.
